ABSTRACT
Pandemic challenges demanded immediate solutions and continues improvement in solutions on field which motivated the entire world's research community to find an opportunity to provide speedy solutions to problems. Agile developments provide immediate improvements which functioned on the grounds of assorted health care units, medical facilities, pharmaceuticals and variants of COVID 19 cases. Agile developments proved its effectiveness for immediate solutions which take full advantage of aids to health and pharmaceutical organizations and also exploits worth rapport with health stakeholders. This springs a thirst for carrying out the study on agile developments and its effectiveness for health and pharmaceuticals so, the study focuses to design generic adaptive emergency agile model for Health care and pharmaceuticals to deal with Crisis pressure which will support COVID 19 medical research field.
ABSTRACT
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic forced the education sector to extensively use digital technologies in imparting education and in students' assessment. The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has been put to the test. With the use of ICT, flexible education is an upcoming option to assist uniform, accessible, and innovative educational systems. While learning in such a covid scenario technical constraints, use of appropriate devices, uninterrupted network and bandwidth have created challenges in student progression and the teaching-learning process. The goal of this research is to determine the impact of digital technology on student growth and to investigate the factors that influence it. The usage of digital technology in teaching/learning before and amidst the spread of pandemic have been compared to appropriately assess the implications of these unique educational circumstances in student progression. The study's goal is to determine how digital technology affects student performance. Secondary data was used in conjunction with survey methods. Researchers have also studied the various platforms used in imparting education as well as in assessment. A questionnaire with self-reporting instruments and a scale for describing student progress through continuous evaluation with ICT was used. Evidence from secondary data reveals that despite facing many challenges during covid, students have shown considerable improvements and progress. Though the exams used artificial intelligence-based algorithms for proctoring, there exist loopholes and huge dependency on tools required and bandwidth to support efficient assessment during the examination. The suggestions and recommendations are made to enhance current online teaching methods to reach a larger number of students and to enrich the teaching/learning experience to ensure better student progression.
ABSTRACT
Agile methodology is adapted now in many industries globally. The robust framework has converged to critical factors affecting the success of a project around people, processes, organization culture. Globally distributed teams collaborate using improved technology, and communication methods effectively. The involvement of senior management and key stakeholders has shifted to the program manager's level. Certain businesses like retails, operations, and the manufacturing sector use agile and remain unmapped. Post-Covid -19 pandemic restrictions on travel, operating hours for shops, and free movement of people had a deep impact on the retail industry. Consumer behavior has seen a significant shift from typical operation hours to 24/7 online stores. Accessibility to the internet and the use of mobile phones have opened up new opportunities. Product availability in stores, at warehouses, and its logistics, have faced different challenges that we have never seen before. The use of IoT smart sensors has become affordable. Retailers want to keep their consumers engaged and happier on shelves to enable them to be brand ambassadors. Online purchases have become the new normal. Consumers' experience has seen a shift over time due to the introduction of digital marketing and noticed a behavior change in the way consumers refer to, search, purchase, use the product and expect after-sales behavior in omnichannel and multi-brand stores. This paper refers to using Agile methodology and IoT technology in the Retail industry. This case study based on a dipstick survey also shares pilot project findings, the feasibility of RFID -based inventory management, and its effectiveness while adopting Agile in the Retail Industry in developing countries like India.
